RANGE SUSTAINABILITY
Training ranges on land, air, sea, or underwater are vital components to military readiness. Parsons understands the numerous challenges that the military faces at training and T&E ranges to provide state-of-the-art, realistic, war-fighter training and weapons systems testing in the 21st Century.
Conducting range and maneuver area operations and sustainability analyses, without considering the intentions of each, or considering the war fighting objectives, cannot succeed. Operational readiness and range sustainability are inseparable. Growing environmental awareness, coupled with encroachment pressures, requires that range managers balance operations with community and environmental concerns.
Parsons’ services help protect the operational capability of training ranges from lack of maintenance, obsolescence of infrastructure, noncompliance with environmental regulations, and the pressures imposed by range encroachment, including air, land, and water space restrictions.
Parsons has significant experience in military operations and all of the technical disciplines that support range sustainability. Our engineering, environmental, and planning staffs bring unique skills and experience together in a highly integrated approach. Our services, which bolster defensible range life-cycle management with unequaled environmental stewardship include:
- Natural and cultural resources master planning
- Marine and terrestrial assessments
- Range-to-readiness analysis
- Range planning and O&M
- Marine species surveys and analyses
- Land and facility management
- Noise impact analyses
- AICUZ/RAICUZ/ICUZ
- Encroachment analyses
- Remote sensing
- GIS and information management
- Environmental Impact Studies and Environmental Assessments
- Regional shore infrastructure planning
- Outreach and community relations
- Investment strategy
- MEC/UXO clearance, surveys, restoration and investigations
We have developed the right tools and the expert understanding of each component that enable us to assist the military to test and train in realistic scenarios. We are justly proud of our ability to deliver overarching, integrated management of the many technical disciplines that sustain this nation's operational ranges, while clearly understanding the operational aspects of maximizing war readiness.
